[edit] World's End

Well, first off, it was already written in the article, and second, IMDb also lists it as this. I assumed the title had been announced already. Sorry if it's only tentative or a rumor. --Lyght 03:36, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I realise I haven't seen an official announcement. Perchance my move was a tad premature? —Gabbe 18:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ronnie Coleman

Just a quick note, AOL users have since begun vandalizing the article again. See my notes on the Talk:Ronnie_Coleman page. Thanks. Yankees76 02:49, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Horses' asses

Thanks for deleting this from the space shuttle page; I had been wanting to do this for ages. --Guinnog 17:15, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No Poster Yet

Isn't the whole point of having the "No Poster Yet" pic is for movies that have no poster yet? MrBlondNYC 20:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I didn't create the poster. It was already here and used in numerous pages and I just assumed that was the proper way to do it. Excuse me. MrBlondNYC 21:39, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bill Nighy

It's pronounced 'NYE(as in the first part of 'night') - ee'. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 15:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "At World's End"

When you renamed Pirates of the Caribbean 3 to "At World's End", your edit summary was: That is the name of the film. It's official. Would you please give me a link to the official press release? - Brian Kendig 00:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Well I haven't seen an official press release, but I thought this would be good enough. Oh well. My apologies. -- Mark (Talk | Email) 20:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
That's the same source I was using. Sorry about that. – Aidje talk 19:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshot/fair use/user pages

Brian, just to let you know as your screen shot of the Virtual Magic Kingdom is a fair use image it should not be used on your userpage.

By Wikipedia Fair Use Policy policy #9 "Fair use images should be used only in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are often enough not covered under the fair use doctrine. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages. They should be linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are the topic of discussion. This is because it is the policy of the Wikimedia Foundation to allow an unfree image only if no free alternative exists and only if it significantly improves the article it is included on. All other uses, even if legal under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided to keep the use of unfree images to a minimum. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis if there is a broad consensus that doing so is necessary to the goal of creating a free encyclopedia (like the templates used as part of the Main Page).

Thanks, --Abernaki 12:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Magic Show

Happy to help out. BTW, you seem to know something about both Anime and musicals. I did a little research and added to the Japanese musicals category some Anime based musicals, based on what I could find online, but I don't really know much about it. If you look at the musical theatre article, Anime is mentioned. Could you review what it says about Anime and the Japanese musicals scene (under the "international" section near the end) and see if what we have is accurate? Best regards, -- Ssilvers 15:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Removing all the external links is a little drastic, don't you think?

"However, adding a small number of relevant external links can be a valuable service to our readers." WP:EL

Do you checked that the links you removed weren't useful?

[edit] Disney Speak move

Hi, you moved "Disney Speak" to "Disney theme park terminology" ([1]). Some terms, like the one about "plussing" are meant in a general sense (disney movies, disney memorabilia, theme parks etc.), and by your move these terms are now misplaced. Would you agree moving the article to a more general title, like "Disney jargon"? Peter S. 21:22, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

"Disney jargon" also doesn't sound right to me, because the terms don't broadly apply to all of Disney."
Well, "plussing" does. Here's an idea: Plussing once was an article of its own. I'll make it an article again and the problem is solved. Hope this works fine with you? Peter S. 22:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

  • Nice one for your support in that wording change, looking at the rewritten version it definitely makes sense. Cheers, Deizio talk 05:14, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VMK profile

A general image without advertising specific players is more appropriate. Using qruthie's profile unacceptable to me and others. It will encourage an edit war where people will begin to post pics of their rooms and their profiles in an effort to become "popular." Perhaps a cropped version of the just the profile, the username blurred out or a random Guest profile (a mule we could use). What do you think? Swisspass 13:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

It *is* a problem, so what do we do now? I think using a staff profile is more appropriate. In other games, they typically mask out the usernames to avoid free publicity. It varies though, there is no set Wikipedia rule. I will search for one and take a screen for the article. What do you think? Swisspass 02:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Brian, I updated the image to reflect the Christmas theme. And I changed the profile pic to Hula. She was the only staff I could find since I don't have any on my list and I went to her game. Let me know if anything is unacceptable, and we'll figure it out. Swisspass 03:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Magickingdom.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Magickingdom.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. —Peter O.

[edit] New name for the MLS vs. MFL Tournament

MLS announced the name for it's tournament to be SuperLiga, so I tried to move the page, but there is already a redirect at that location. Could you please resolve this by making a disambiguation page or removing the redirect. Thanks. м info 21:09, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, sorry, there actually already was a disambig. page. I added the tournament as the North American SuperLiga м info 21:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can you tell me?

Hi,

I am writing because I noticed that an admin has removed a superior GDFL photo on the Jimmy Fallon page and replaced it with a terrible one. I am writing you because there is sort of a history between me and this admin. I wrote about the photo he replaced it with on the talk page but he just reverted it and made no comment on the talk page.

The problem is that this new photo is really bad and I suggested if he could find another good quality freeuse photo to replace it but he has this thing about this actor Borgman who appears in the picture he has even wrongly accused me of being Borgman because I have edited and added information about a bunch of indie film actors. I think that he has a tendency to be somewhat irrational but since he is now an admin I think he should act like one. Anyway, if you could just look at the photographs and make a judgment for yourself it would be helpful because I believe that the quality of the article has been lowered with this change. Better have no photo at all. Thank you for your time. Dwain 17:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Brian for your help. I didn't want to get into a revert war with him especailly since we have a history of minor conflicts. I'll keep an eye out for a freeuse image of just Fallon at the commons. Dwain 18:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your reverts of Wikipedia:Naming conventions

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Wikipedia:Naming conventions. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. --Francis Schonken 13:58, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen Colbert: Greatest American Patriot

Sir, while I respect your works here, from a purely logistical standpoint, there is no way you can go up against Stephen Colbert and win; he's got legions of fans who will alter any wikipedia page purely based on his whims on his TV show. And I am proud to be a member of the Colbert Nation. --Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici 04:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] reality / colbert

you locked it into the phrasing colbert requested. Could you revert and relock? we shouldn't give Colbert that much power. ThuranX 04:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Vmk-pins.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Vmk-pins.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] Wikilobbying

I think the Wikipedia entry should include something along the lines of: "A term coined by Stephen Colbert to indicate mass media activism directed at Wikipedia entries." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jjasonf (talk • contribs) 06:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Howie Mandel problem

I have noticed that you have marked that article for deletion, on the grounds of neologism, suggesting that it should be merged with the main US Deal or No Deal article. However, in this circumstance, I suggest leaving it as is, as the main Deal or No Deal article is already 57kbytes in size, a point where splitting articles is suggested. See Wikipedia:Article size. -- azumanga 03:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Ezri Dax.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ezri Dax.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 21:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question?

Hello Brian,

Years ago there was an article created by someone on an independent film that I found interesting because it was done like an old silent movie called The Deserter. Ultimately, it was deleted 2005 because at the time it was only being shown at limited engagments on film. It was voted for deletion because it was not released or available to a wide audience mainly.

Last year the film was released on DVD and a new article was created entitled The Deserter (2006 film). The film has gotten some global attention and I think it is notable because there are not many people making silent comedy features these days.

Anyway, it was removed by an admin, JzG, today, saying that it was just the reposting of formerly deleted material. Because this wasn't really the case and because the same thing happened with the film Democrazy (film) which was voted to be deleted and then after it was released on DVD and was distributed through Amazon and other places and an article was again written concerning this film, I made a new article with some cited references and explained on the talk page why I thought JzG was incorrect.

My question to you is did I do something wrong? I have added info to many articles over years, but I haven't been keeping up with all the procedure of how one is to do things. I am not an admin so was my bold step of reposting an article that was removed by an admin going to cause a big ruckus? I still think I'm correct and believe this new article on the same film should be posted for deletion on its own since I believe the film now meets the criteria for inclusion as stated by the people who voted to delete it. Sorry of this is long and rambling. I hope it makes sense. Anyway, I once asked for your opinion and advice on something else and thought maybe you could give some good incite on this.
